12 Device and Documentation Support
12.1 Device Support
12.1.1 Device Nomenclature
-
Hold Step: The voltage step at the output of the sample and hold when switching from sample mode to hold mode with a steady (DC) analog input voltage. Logic swing is 5 V.
-
Acquisition Time: The time required to acquire a new analog input voltage with an output step of 10 V. Acquisition time is not just the time required for the output to settle, but also includes the time required for all internal nodes to settle so that the output assumes the proper value when switched to the hold mode.
-
Gain Error: The ratio of output voltage swing to input voltage swing in the sample mode expressed as a per cent difference.
-
Hold Settling Time: The time required for the output to settle within 1 mV of final value after the hold logic command.
-
Dynamic Sampling Error: The error introduced into the held output due to a changing analog input at the time the hold command is given. Error is expressed in mV with a given hold capacitor value and input slew rate. This error term occurs even for long sample times.
-
Aperture Time: The delay required between hold command and an input analog transition, so that the transition does not affect the held output.

12.5 Electrostatic Discharge Caution

These devices have limited built-in ESD protection. The leads should be shorted together or the device placed in conductive foam during storage or handling to prevent electrostatic damage to the MOS gates.
